Can Shanahan the fix Niners?
League commissioner Adam Silver visited the Warriors’ locker room following Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals to congratulate the losing team on an outstanding season and five-year run.
Coach Steve Kerr of Golden State, who was hurt and lost, offered a proposal.
Is it possible for the British to take 2020 off and spend a year in Italy “riding bikes and sipping wine”?
Five consecutive NBA Finals losses to the Warriors had an unfathomable cost. The squad was physically and psychologically exhausted by the strain. They were aware that the line would stop in Game 6, which ended with Klay Thompson injuring his ACL.
In February, the Niners had their “go to Italy” moment in Las Vegas. Although it’s obvious in hindsight, the picture wasn’t too hazy at the time: the team’s second Super Bowl defeat to the Chiefs in five years signalled the end of an era.
Many of the team’s players from the last Super Bowl game were gassed. The Niners have lost two Super Bowls that went down to overtime or the fourth quarter and four NFC title game appearances in five years.
The Niners made a valiant attempt to bring their tried-and-true core back. They dished out big-money contracts, spent considerable money in free agency, and picked players that might have an immediate effect in 2024.
They have done them a great deal of good.
Oh well, they will soon be travelling to Italy.
In a terrible season for San Francisco, the Niners’ Sunday loss to the Green Bay Packers marked a new low. The Buffalo Bills game on Sunday in Orchard Park may reach a new height.
It is understandable that head coach Kyle Shanahan’s role as the program’s leader would be questioned as the team enters what is likely to be a losing season and suffers from a terrible Super Bowl hangover. This season, he is not performing well.
Therefore, the incessant chant that he must give up his offensive-playing calling should be enough if fans aren’t demanding that he be fired outright.
Both are ridiculous, completely unwarranted suggestions.
